Yellowstone Super Volcano Alert - History Channel Special

YELLOWSTONE SPECIAL ALERT - 01.23.2010 - USGS reports well over a thousand earthquakes within the last 7 days, four of which rattled Yellowstone National Park.

Yellowstone National Park spokesman Al Nash says people reported feeling the Wednesday quakes at the park locations of Old Faithful, Canyon and Mammoth and in the Montana towns of West Yellowstone and Gardiner.

The University of Utah Seismograph Station speculates that the swarms of earthquakes are probably the result of slipping preexisting faults rather than underground movement of magma. However faults are not know to produce non-stop earth quake activity lasting for weeks on end. Only underground magma on the move can do that, as the quakes are all concentrated inside Yellowstone Park rather than along a fault line running hundreds of miles in length. (Go figure)

Since no one in recorded history knows the warning signs of a super volcano about to erupt, obviously it's anyone's guess. Just know that if these quakes continue, it's advised that anyone within a 400 mile radios may want to find somewhere else to stay for a while until the ground stops moving in Yellowstone. Note. In 2006 President Bush jr. mandated that the USGS not talk to the public about the state of Yellowstone. Obviously the public is to be kept in the dark as Obama had not rescinded the order.

Satellite imagery, GPS stats, and a whole bunch of other data definitely suggest that Yellowstone could very well be in trouble soon. Like the park floor has gone UP 8 inches in the last few months, while the surrounding area has dropped.

FYI: In 2007 Bush issued a gag warning to all USGS employees not to talk to the public about Yellowstone until Bush could sensor any new DATA. Go figure!

DAMNNN NATURE YOU SCARY!

[VictorYong36]

I am scared of the History Channel. If yellowstone erupts tomorrow, will Australia be doomed?

[joel053]

Make me president and I will bury the entire nuclear arsenal where it is closet to the ground and detonate it

[Itrustknowone]

just god having a wank

[jackbauer6543]

Holy shit that is scary! I'm gonna have nightmares tonight!

[garocrowlo]

@Derrricification No there wont you retard, there hasn't been weeks or months warnings for any volcanic eruption ever. Natural disasters wouldn't even matter if you could know when it was going to happen.

[garocrowlo]

@VictorYong36 I hope you will be.... scrote

[louisewilensky98]

Now i feel nauseous.

[Derrricification]

I live very close to Yellowstone. If the volcano erupts, I will be one of the lucky ones who die quickly in the pyroclastic flow. It is going to be best to live very close to it.

However, this is not something to lose sleep over. The caldera rising by a few inches (or even a few feet), and earthquake swarms is nothing new. There are literally tens of thousands of sensors and satellites monitoring Yellowstone. If there is an eruption, there will probably be weeks, or even months of warning.

@VictorYong36 Vulcanologist cannot be sure, but there have been 4 major earthquakes in the Toba area since 2004; they have ranged from 7.7 to 8.5 on the Richter Scale. Furthermore, the island in the center of the volcanic lake in the caldera has risen by 1,400 ft. in the last two decades. Fun facts to know: the last eruption of Toba was the largest known explosion ever on Earth-three times the estimated force of the Yellowstone eruption.

Lava looks so cool



[VictorYong36]

@hermitcrabbot the Toba eruption. 74, 000BC it was almost the end of the world. When will be the next?
